1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Ventriculomegaly with cystic kidney disease (VMCKD) is a rare and severe disorder characterized by cerebral ventriculomegaly, greatly elevated maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (MSAFP) or amniotic fluid alpha-fetoprotein (AFAFP) levels and kidney disease similar to Finnish congenital nephrosis. Recessive mutations in the CRB2 (NM_173689) gene have been shown to cause the syndrome. Here, we described a nonconsanguineous Chinese family with two fetuses affected with VMCKD. A novel compound heterozygous mutation was identified in the CRB2 gene with co-segregation. One mutation [c.1960G>C (p.A654P)] was inherited from the father, while another mutation [c.3078_c.3093delGGCGCGGCCCCGGCCC (p.L1026Lfs*110)] was inherited from the mother. Preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic disease (PGT-M) was performed for the carrier couple with full informed consent and successfully blocked the inheritance of the disease. Our study has important implications on molecular diagnosis and genetic counseling for VMCKD and extends the mutation spectrum in CRB2 gene.
